Savory Shortbread Cookies / Iyengar Bakery Khara Biscuits

For this month’s ICC Challenge Srivalli chose these savory biscuits from Champa’s Versatile Vegetarian Kitchen . These cookies were so nice. We had some and I packed the remaining to my hubby’s office. They were all gone in no time. Thank you Champa for the wonderful recipe.



Ingredients:
Maida/ Flour-2cups
Butter-1/3cup
Sugar-4tsp
Salt-1tsp
Red Chilly Flakes-1tbs
Dill-1tbs
Yogurt / Curd-2tbs


Procedure:
1. Cream sugar and butter together.
2. Add curd and mix well.
3. Mix flour, salt sugar, red chilly flaked and dill.
4. Mix the flour mixture to butter.
5. Prepare a crumbly dough. Do not over knead.

I love painting, dress designing and of course cooking. This blog which started as an online cookery book has given me a great insight into baking and has transformed me into a home baker who is now thriving to learn a lot about cakes and decorating techniques. This blog has thousands of tried and tasted vegetarian recipes around the world and eggless bakes.
